Salaam YOUR HELP IS NEEDED to stand up for the civil rights of our brothers and sisters that are being illegally detained in violation of their civil rights and the US constitiution. Even here in albany there is a brother being held illegally without being charged with a crime. Below is the story of one brother who has been illegally detained merely because he is Palestinian and was helping to orginize a pro palestine rally. While in Custody prison officials tortured him. What can you do to help? Next week on saturday there is going to be a rally down in DC against the illegal detention and profiling of muslims. WE MUST speak out against there actions WE MUST Follow the teaching of the Prophet of Allah and make the greatest jihad (struggle) by speaking a true word to THIS Governement against all the unjust and illegal things that they are doing.

Here is the about the brother This evening, Sunday June 16, two members of the Jaoudat > Abouazza Defense Committee were able to see Jaoudat in INS > custody in the Bristol County Correctional Facility in North > Dartmouth, MASS. They learned that at 10:00 AM Sunday > morning, prison officials forcibly removed 4 molars from > Jaoudat's mouth entirely without novacaine or any other > anesthetic. This constitutes midareview torture, with unknown > permanent damage or effects on Jaoudat's use of his mouth > and jaw. This followed a week in which prison officials, > guards and stooges engaged in other forms of brutality and > torture against Jaoudat, including punching, solitary > confinement, threats and racist epithets. FBI agents have > continued to harrass and intimidate him and they showed him > a defense committee leaflet and threw him into an isolation > cell, telling him they could keep him there as long as they > wanted. > > On the evening of May 30, Abouazza was stopped by the > Cambridge police on the pretext of a minor traffic > violation.
